Question 3524 Deck General

The correct answer is C) remove the clothing and wash. When fuel is spilled on clothing during helicopter refueling operations, the first priority is to remove the contaminated clothing and wash the affected skin. This is the safest and most appropriate initial response, as prolonged contact with spilled fuel can be hazardous to one's health. The other options, such as seeing a medic immediately (A) or spraying with foam/CO2 (B), may be necessary depending on the severity of the incident, but removing the clothing and washing should be the immediate first step. Completing the task and then seeing a medic (D) would not be the proper course of action, as addressing the fuel exposure should take precedence.
